Deshbhager Par by Imdadul Haq Milan [Hardcover]

"Love does not recognize any religion. People love one another, disregarding religion. But at times, religion itself becomes the main obstacle to that noble love. Sectarianism arises from rigid religious consciousness, which gives birth to an insecure life. Political turmoil is added to this. Disoriented people then flee their familiar homeland and take refuge in another country, becoming known as refugees. Yet, among them, some people, bound by the love for their land, cling to their country's soil. Mad Pavan Thakur, barber Nitaicharan, old compounder Umacharan, merchant Gaganbabu, or Sona Das, Manindra Thakur, Srinath, and Biru are such people. How do they live, how do they survive, what is their relationship with people of other religions - such subjects are brilliantly compiled in eleven stories in this book."
